Passing Pleasantries, "A GOOD ORDER." A certain gentleman at Norwich was lately complaining, in a restaurant in that city, that he had three fine daughters, with each of whom he would give five thousand pounds, yet he could find no one for a son-in-law. "With your leave, sir, said an Irishman who was present getting up and making a very low bow, "I'll take two of 'em." RCYIXG A VERDICT. "It's a hundred dollars in your pocket." whis- pered the defendant's lawyer to the jUror, "if you can bring about a verdict of manslaughter in the second degree." Such proved to be the verdict, and the lawyer thanked the juror warmly as he paid him the money. Yes," said the juror, "it was tough work. but I got. there after a while. All the rest I went in for acquittal." TO BE SAVED AT OXCE. A friend of an Irishman, having fal!en into a slough, the Irishman called loudly to another for assistance. The latter, who was busily engaged in cut- ting a log, and wished to procrastinate, in- quired, "How deep is the gentleman in?" "Up to his ankles." "Then there is plenty of time." said the other. "No. there is not." rejoined the first, "'Oi forgot to tell yus he's in head first." A SEASON TICKET. A gentleman who frequented a circus noticed a boy among the audience, who was sound ualeep every time he happened to be in. Curious to know why the urchin should resort to such a place for sleeping, our friend went up one evening and accosted him. "My little fellow, what do you go to sleep for?" "I can't keep a wake," rejoined the boy; "it is a. terrible bere to see them doing the same thing every night." "But why do you come?" "Oh. I can t, help it-I must come—I have a season ticket.

The relaxation of interest in local securi- ties referred to a few days since has become very pronounced, and to-day little business has been transacted in South Wales shares. Dealings have been confined principally to the Kaffir Market, the recovery in South Afri- can Shares having drawn the attention of speculators. With regard to Railway Stocks, Barry, Taff, and Rhymney Ordinaries are nominally unchanged, but quotations are not very firm. Barry Third Preference has been done at 1.10;. Rhondda. and Swansea Bay Ordinary Shares are again weaker, relapsing another 3 to 51, at which figure a number of shares have been exchanged. Corporation and Bank Shares have been idle. Swansea Gas Stock is a point up at 110, and Hancock's Brewery Debenture has improved a point to 98 xd. The Coal and Iron Section has been almost neglected, with quotations ■uclined to be slightly easier. In the Mis- cellaneous Department Milford Docks Ordi- nary are 1-16 better at 5-16. and have been dealt in at 6s. 6d. BUSINESS DONE-OFFICUL MARKINGS. RAILWAYS. Barry Third Preference. llOj.

If you still find MAZAWATTEE COCOA too strong when a half quantity only is used in comparison to other Cocoas, a further re- duction in the quantity used is advisable. Owing to its superlative strength, each grain is of importance, and its regular use will make an appreciable difference in the cocoa outlay. Put this cocoa- in competition: the results will astonish the uninitiated. eiOS61

CARDIFF WATER SUPPLY I THE RATING OF CHARITABLE! INSTITUTIONS. ABSTRACTION OF WATER FROM THE RIVER ELY. The Cardiff Waterworks Committee, at a special meeting held at the Town-hall on Friday, considered a report from the town- clerk (Mr. Wheatley) with regard to the rental of water used for domestic purposes at charitable institutions. He stated that it should be noted that the supply of water for domestic purposes did not include a supply for any trade, manufacture, or business what- soever. The annual value of a house meant the sum. not on which the assessment was actually laid, but the rent at which it might reasonably be expected to let free of all usual tenants' rates and taxes, and deducting there- from the probable annual average coet of all the repairs, insurance, and other expenses, if any, necessary to maintain it in a state to command such rent. By Section 68 of the Waterworks Clauses Act, 1847 (incorporated with the Act of 18531. if any dispute arose as to the annual value, the same was to be deter- mined by two justices. The corporation was not obliged to adopt the values placed upon premises by the assessment committee. The town-clerk next gave a list of charitable insti- tutions, such as the Deaf and Dumb Institute, the Jubilee Nursing Institute, the Young Men's Christian Association Institute. &c.. the ratable value, and water rates of which had been refused, and which he considered illegal. He was of opinion that the corporation had no power to give favourable terms to premises used for charitable purposes, as it amounted to a subvention from the rates to these charities. All buildings should be treated alike unless where statutory provision to the contrary existed—by Section 69 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act. 1900, whereby the I t corporation would be enabled to supply water for lodging-housea provided under the Act either without charge or suclj other favourable I terms as they may think fit.-It was men- tioned that there were seven or eight charit- able institutions which would be anected.— In the end it was decided to instruct the col- lectors to base their charges upon the origi- nal value of the premises. The Town-clerk reported that the corpora- tion had power (although not now fully exer- cised) to draw water from the River Ely at a rate not exceeding 3.000,000 gallons in 24 hours. In 1889 the Barry Railway Company laid pipes from the banks of the river at a point about two miles and a quarter higher up the stream than the corporation pumping station, and sunk a well within about 20ft. of the river, but the corporation did not take legal proceed. iugs against the company. In 1890 the Mar-1 quess of Bute, as riparian owner, instituted Chancery proceedings for an injunction to restrain the Barry Railway Company from diverting or interfering with the flow of the river. In that action the plaintiff obtained an order of the court for the engineers of the plaintiff ta visit the pumping station of the Barry Railway Company, and their observa- tions fully bore out the conclusion that there was a. direct communication between the River Ely and the Barry Pumping Station. It seemed, however, that the action was settled out of court upon each party paying their own costs, for the Barry Railway Company did not claim the right of abstracting water from the river. As regarded the corporation, however, the question was whether the water abstracted by the Barry Company prevented the corporation from receiving the 3,000,000 gallons per diem to which they were entitled. -The Waterworks Engineer stated that upon no occasion when he had gauged the flow of the water had the quantity been less than the 5.000,000 gallons per day. That being so, it was opined that the likelihood of prejudice to the rights of the corporation was too remote to warrant an action being taken against the Barry Railway Company unless the company had in any way increased their works, &c., at the Dropex.-After a brief discussion it was decided, on the motion of the Chairman, not to institute proceedings against the railway company at present. The committee considered a number of ten- ders for repaire to the engines at Cogan, and that of the Tyneside Engine Works, Cardiff, for £190 was accepted. Tenders for stores for the next twelve months were also gone into, and that of Messrs. Cross Bros., Cardiff, for JM59 was accepted.

A LLANDAFF CLERGYMAN PROMOTED. APPOINTMENT FOR THE REV. JOHN HARRIS, OF USK. The Rev. John Harris, B.A., curate of Usk. has been offered the living of Llanfachreth, near Dolgelly, and it is understood that the rev. gentle-man has accepted it. The patroness of the living is Mrs. Vaughan, of Nannau, and its value is £ 300 and a house. Mr. Harris is a graduate of Durham Uni- versity and was ordained in 1886 to the curacy cf All Saints', Cardiff, where he worked well for about two years. From Cardiff he removed to Caerphilly, where, under the late Rector Jenkins, he laboured with conspicuous success for many years. Ee was the means of introducing, among other improvements, a surpliced choir, and it w.-M chiefly through his efforts. also, a magnificent organ was provided for the parish church. After the appointment of the late rector—the Rev. D. Lewis—Mr. Harris's sphere of duty Jay chiefly at Pwllypant, where he dl-I much to renovate and otherwise beautify ti?.e mission church, and gathered together a large congregation. Mr. Harris's record at Caerphilly is such as any young clergyman nr;ht envy. He was greatly esteemed as a pastor by all classes. especially the poor and sick, and his efforts with the young were eminently successful, as the confirmations held there from time to time bore witness. He is an able and popular preacher in English and Welsh, and a Church- man of moderate views. When the Rev. Con- nop Price undertook the living Mr. Harris obtained the curacy of Usk. Llanfachreth is charmingly situated, and the church has been recently restored. It is understood that Mr. Harris will not go alone to his new sphere. for it is an open secret that he is shortly to be married to Miss Corbett, daughter of Mr. J. S. Corbett, J.P., Pwllypant.

LATE PRINCIPAL JONES. TESTIMONIAL COMMITTEE DECIDE TO ERECT A STATUE.

An executive com- mittee was appointed to collect moneys and to carry out the object of the movement. It was further decided that in the event of the money being provided Mr. W. Goscombe John should be commissioned 1:,(: execute the work.

MERTHYR SCHOOL BOARD THE PROPOSED EXTENSIONS OF SCHOOLS. REVISION OF TEACHERS' SALARIES. The ordinary monthly meeting of the Mer- thyr School Board was held on Friday, Mr. W. L. Daniel (chairman) presiding. The sites and buildings committee reported, that they had had before them a letter from the Board of Education approving of the plans for altera- I tions at Abermorlais School; also a later letter from the same body asking that the plans should be returned, because when their approval was given it was, unfortunately, not brought to their notice that his Majesty's inspector had made a report on the general question. The committee had since conferred with his Majesty's inspector, and after a lengthy discussion Mr. Edwards h;id under- taken to recommend the Board of Education to confirm their sanction of the plans sub- mitted. The same committee reported that on I the 18th inst. they met at Treharris School, I when his Majesty's inspectcr and Mr. J. LI. Smith, architect, were present. They had before them a letter from the Board of ¡ Education, dated the 13th of June last, requesting a reconsideration of the school requirements of that district, and also the present accommodation and attendance. In addition to the proposed infants' and junior school at Woodlands, • it was! seen that school accommodation was required at Edwardsville, and also that the present infants' school at Treharris could not be modernised. Mr. Edwards had undertaken to re-visit the district at an early date, in com- pany with the architect, and to report to the board what seemed to him the most suitable sites for new infants' schools, and the archi- tect had been instructed to prepare sketches of suggested buildings. A further report was presented by the committee stating that they had had under consideration a communication from the Board of Education respecting the need of providing increased accommodation for the children attending the Twynyrodin school; also a letter from Messrs. Gwilym James, Charles, and Davies offering a plot of additional land. The committee recommended that the architect be asked to report as to whether it would be better to adopt the present infants' school for the extension required for the boys and girls school. or to extend the boys, girls, and infants school on an adjoining site. and to acquire the additional land offered by Messrs. Gwilym James, Charles, and Davies for the purpose.—The recommendation was adopted.- A letter was read from Messrs. Frank James and Sons, showing t-hat in the arbitration with respect to the Georgetown School site the arbitrator had awarded Messrs. Crawshay Brothers £1.400. instead of the £2,7:JJ which they had claimed. TEACHERS' SALARIES. The board adopted the recommendation of the school management committee that the maximum salaries of all certificated assistants be advanced £10, and that' of all ex-pupil teachers £5..As no proportion of grants received henceforth will be paid to the head teachers of the advanced schools, it was agreed that Mr. G. Fleming. M.A., be paid a maximum of L250 a year, and Miss Cart- wright a maximum of JE250 a year. The maxi- mum salary of the men assistants in the advanced school was fixed at jElaO, and women assistants at X120 a year. The scale of salaries of the head teachers in the elementary schools was also revised, the maximum in the three grades being headmasters JE200. headmistresses £ 120 for grade A: JS250 and £1.50 respec- tively for grade B; and £275 and JE187 10s. respectively for grade C. The maximum for women under Article 68 is extended from £J5 to JMO per year.

NEWPORT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. MR. GERALD BALFOUR TO ATTEND THE BANQUET. Mr. W. J. Orders presided at the monthly meeting of the Newport Chamber of Com- merce on Friday afternoon. The mayor (Mr. J. H. Duun) was given a cordial welcome to the chamber.-Mr. C. D. Phillips, J.P., reported upon the deputation to the Post- master-General re reform in postage on periodicals.—Correspondence between Sir Joseph Lawrence, M.P., and Mr. Hayes Fisher. M.P., Secretary to the Treasury, was read on the question of making Newport a centre for stamping documents, in which Mr. Hayes Fisher said that the Treasury could not grant the request. Sir Joseph Lawrence was thanked for the action he had taken, and was asked to continue his efforts in the same direction. -The chamber decided to accede to the request of Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P.. to sub- scribe to the Customs returns of coal exports, but suggestions were made that the Newport ooal foreign shipments should be shown separately, and not in bulk with the whole of the Bristol Channel; and also that Newport should be given credit for the large amount of coal shipped as bunkers.—lite chamber decided to participate in the congress of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire at Mon- treal from August 17 to 20. 1903.—Mr. C. D. Phillips proposed that Newport should sup- port a motion for the appointment of a Minister of Industry and Commerce at the March meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, and that in addition to the presi- dent, the borough member and the high- sheriff of the county (Mr. E. Windsor Richards) be asked to attend in support. This was agreed to.—'She President reported that Mr. Gerald Balfour, the President of the Board of Trade, had promised to attend the banquet of the chamber in January next. (Hear, hear.)

CATTLE DISEASE AND THE LIVERPOOL TRADE. The restrictions on the Boston cattle trade have caused some consternation in Liverpool, and information as to the extent of the em- bargo is anxiously awaited. Shippers and importers have cabled to their agents. Many thousands of live cattle reach Liverpool from Boston every year, and are slaughtered at the Birkenhead lairages, from which the Mersey Dock Board derive a large revenue. The manager of the board says the restric- tions will have a far-reaching effect. Cargoes now arriving may be quarantined.

SETTING FIRE TO HIS SHIP. At Durham Assizes on Friday Thomas Sin- clair Leinster. master mariner, who was charged with setting fire to his steamer, the Richmond, in 1894. was found guilty and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. The ship was fired between the Thames and the Tyne. The accused owned the ship, which was insured for £5,000, the amount of the purchase money. It was alleged that he went aboard the vessel disguised as a pas-I senger. and during the night spread oil over the cargo and set fire to it. Three thousand pounds insurance wa-9 paid.

CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR AGAIN George Matthews, a Blackwood collier, applied to the magistrates on Friday for a vaccination exemption certificate. Mr. Green, one of the magistrates, said that. considering tha.t there were cases of small-pox in the immediate vicinity, it was a risky thing to abstain from vaccination. Applicant said he had a "deep-founded conscientious objection," and the order was granted.

BRISTOL BIGAMY CHARGE MR. JUSTICE WRIGHT CONDEMNS THE CASE FOR THE CROWN. At the Bristol Assizes on Friday (before Mr. Justice Wright) Reuben Henry Chandler, licensee, was indicted for bigamy. Mr. Simon prosecuted, and Mr. Holman Gregory defended. The Treasury had taken up the prosecution, and the allegation was that the prisoner had intermarried at least four times. His first wife. Mary Elizabeth Day, whom he had mar- ried in April, 1870, was still alive. His Lord- ship, when counsel for'the Crown attempted to prove bigamy by the second marriage with Harriet Hales, at Bristol, in 1874, said that there must be something like a limitation when a prosecution should be undertaken: If the Crown was going to rake up a marriage of 30 years ago. even if the jury convicted, he should consider that he had a duty to mankind. Counsel for the prosecution intimated that he would rely upon the marriage with the woman Suitt, to sustain the indictment, although this woman had since died. Evi- dence of the first marriage with Mary Eliza- beth Day in 1870 having been called, the mar- riage with the woman Stutt was also proved. —Prisoner, duly sworn, said he had not seen his first wife for 30 years.-The Judge said it was customary not to initiate a prosecution if seven years had elapsed without the parties having knowledge of each others whereabouts. -The jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty."

WILL OF THE LATE DR. ANGUS. The estate of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Angus, formerly secretary of the Baptist Missionary Society, and afterwards president of Regent's Park College, has been valued at .£27.835 gross, including personalty of the net value of £ 18,8^3. The will begins: "I solemnly record my reliance for salvation on Christ alone, a,nd His obedience unto death. I look for eternal life only through the righteous mercy of God in Christ. Living and dying, I desire to rest only there." He bequeathed to the trustees of Regent's Park College his collec- tion of Baptist authors, filling three book- cases and the lower parts of two bookcases. and six other bookcases, on condition that the collection be for ever kept together, and the books and pamphlets stamped and cata- logued in order that they may be properly preserved and easily available for use, and that £10 a year be appropriated from the lib- rary fund of the college to keep them in repair and to add to them; and as the above books and pamphlets had cost him upwards of £1.500 over and above those which had been presented to him. he added the request that the committee aJlow the sum of £ 500 to be paid to the executors of his will. which sttm, he thought, might fairly be charged to the library fund.

SWANSEA CALEDONIAN BANQUET. The Swansea Caledonian Society's annual banquet took place at the Royal Hotel. Swan- sea. on Friday evening. Councillor A. Sinclair (president) was in the chair, and there was a representative gathering of the Scotsmen of Swansea and several prominent friends. After the menu the loyal and patriotic toasts were given by the Chairman. —Mr. J. R. Young proposed The Town of our adoption and the land we live in." He reoog- nised that there was a spirit abroad in Swan- sea just now which would keep the town and port well abreast with the progress of the Bristol Channel. The returns of the harbour trust for the past month had proved a record. Referring to the recently-established chamber of trade, the speaker said the object was to foster the trade of the town and to promote unity amongst all sections of the traders. The purpose was a most laudable one. and he thought they might all join in such a move- ment. Mr. Young highly praised the Welsh nation and said they would always find Scots- men in Wales ready to work shoulder to shoulder with them for the promotion of the interests of the Principality. Mr. D. James, manager of the Swansea Tram- ways Company, responded.—Mr. Bettany pro- posed "The Land of Cakes," and the Rev. D. Connor replied.—Mr. Maclaren submitted! "Kindred Celts," and Mr. F. F. Hosford replied for Ireland and Mr. A. Hoskins for Wales.- Other toasts followed.

—— LOCAL LAW CASES. AGRICULTURAL SHOW LIBEL ACTION. The further hearing of the action Coltman i v. Cowan and others, was resumed on Friday in the King's Bench Division of the High Court (before Mr. Justice Lawrance and a special jury). This was an action by Mr. R. H. Coltman, an ironmonger and maker of beehive apparatus, of Burton-on-Trent, seek- ing to recover damages for libel from Mr. Cowan, the proprietor, and Mr. Carr, the editor, of the "British Beekeepers' Journal," and also from Messrs. James Lee and Sons. The alleged libel appeared in the paper in | July, 1901, and was written by Messrs. James Lee and Son, and reflected on the originality of an exhibit of beehives and beekeeping appliances shown by plaintiff at the Cardiff Agricultural Show of 1901. After hearing evidence the jury found a verdict for the defendants, and judgment was entered accordingly with costs. CARDIFF ARBITRATION DECISION UPHELD. In the King' Bench Division of the High Court of Justice. London, on Friday, the case of Williams and another v. the Lancashire and Yorkshire Insurance Company came before Mr. Justice Bigham on a special case stated by the arbitrator-Mr. Albert Parsons, of Castle-street. Cardiffn a point of law as to the notice of an accident necessary to be given to the insurance company. Mr. Hugh Sturges appeared for the plain- tiff. and Mr. Bailhache for the defendant. His Lordship, without calling upon Mr. Bailhache for the company, held that the arbitrator was right, and that judgment must be entered for the insurance company. CARDIFF WILL SUIT. In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on Friday (before Mr. Justice Keke- wich) there was an adjourned summone in the matter of the estate of Watkin Henry, deceased, between the Rev. James Price Buckley, of the Vicarage, Llandaff, plaintiff, and Martha Ann Henry, of Brynglas, Romilly- road, Cardiff; Fanny Louise Henry, spinster; Thomas Jenkins Henry (one of the executors and trustees of the will of the testator, being e also beneficially interested thereunder); Florence Katherine Jenkins, wife of Rhys Jenkins. of Angel-street, Bridgend, Glamor- gan; the Rev, Wm. Jones, of Newton Rectory, Porthcawl, Glamorgan; and Thomas Wilson. and William D. Lodge, both of Newton Nottage, and churchwardens of the same parish, defendants. The summons was issued on the application of the plaintiff, who claimed to be the other of the executors and trustees of the will of the testator, for the determina- tion by the court of certain questions. Mr. Johnson, who appeared for plaintiff, said the summons was taken out by one of the executors and a trustee of the will of Mr. Watkin Henry as plaintiff, against certain beneficiaries as defendants, and the first ques- tion on which all the others depended was really, whether certain property which was mentioned in the schedule to the summons belonged to the testator's widow absolutely or passed under his will. That was to say, that the widow claimed outside the will against the will. Mr. Wace appeared for the widow and Mr. Rowlands appeared for a charity, who were interested, in arguing that the property did pass under the will. The next question would be whether, assuming the property belonged to the widow, she was bound to elect. Justice Kekewich held that the widow of Watkin Henry was entitled to survivorship to the property mentioned, in the schedule to the summons, but that she was bound to elect whether she took the property or a life inte- rest in the testator's general estate. The rest of the summons stood' over. to see whether thp lady would elect, his lordship intimating that if she elected to take over the will the cost? would come out of the estate.

A LIVELY DAY WITH LORD TREDEGAR'S HOUNDS. I PLEASANT FINISH TO THE TREDEGAR SHOW WEEK, A lovely sunny morning brought a, large muster to the "meet" at Duffryn GaAe on Thursday—over 100 horsemen and ladies, and most of them on high-cla-ss horses. Unfortu- nately, the scent was nearly as bad as it was possible to be. The Wall brake was first drawn, but was blank. Horses were then trotted to Duffryn osier bed, and hounds were hardly in before two foxes were away, a- part of the pack going away with one, and the rest holloaed on to the other, thereby making a delay, as the huntsman tried to get- hounds together. Eventually half the pack hunted a fox over the most complicated part of the reen country, affording the hunters a first-class opportunity of trying whether they were water-jumpers or not. Some of them, I fancy, found that they were not. j Hounds ran down to the railway. and, not being able to make anything of the line, were cast back to the covert by the bridge, j to keep them off the railway. They soon1 afterwards hunted a line fairly well j through the plantations round Tredegar House a.nd across the Cardiff road. running on over Penylan, through Machen Wood, right-handed by R-hiwderin and Bryn Hedydd to Croesheolydd Wood, where two or three fresh foxes were on foot at once. The scent getting worse, and the covert being very thick, after hunting round and round for] aboait hall an hour, hounds went away, but about hall an hour, hounds went away, but so slowly that, after being scarcely able to go faster than a walk, they were stopped. The large field, however, had enjoyed them- selves with much jumping and much coffee- housing and chaff. housing and chaff. Among the many who seemed to enjoy themselves and were well to the front all day was Mr. Walter Winans, on his celebrated horse "Golden Dream." VETERAN.

THIRTY YEARS IN AMERICA PONTYPRIDD MANS SUCCESSFUL I CAREER. Cornel Llewelyn W. John. who is on a visit to this country after an absence of 00 years in America, has been entertained at a com- plimentary concert at Pontypridd prior to his returning to America, where he has made his home. As a pioneer of the Birmingham (U.S.A.) Coal and Iron Trust, his comparisons between English and American methods of coalmining: and steel-producing were inte- resting locally, and his facts and figures in an address given thanking his old fellow- townsmen for their welcome after so many years' absence were an indication of the pro- gress made in America, in competing with this country. In a short chat with a "Western Mail" representative the Colonel, who is a bluff hearty man, said: "I'm a native of Ponty- pridd, and have two brothers in this locality —Mr. J. W. John, a member of the Ponty- pridd School Board, and Mr. W. C. John, stationmaster at Radyr. I left home when I they were quite young, and found myself at New York with only a few shillings in my pocket. American streets are not paved with milk and honey; there you have to work hard for a living, and as I have since proved, and many others can bear me out, there are better chances to get on' than in the old country. Eventually I found myself in Birmingham, Alabama, a wooden town with a few huts, and found an official laying out claims. Having an idea of the business. I offered to assist him, and here I commenced my career. From a few wooden huts a town of 150.000 inhabitants has sprung into existence, with all the latest and most modern improve- ments, socially, commercially, and architec- turally. Mind you, the change has been gradual; still, we are ahead of you, in that we had electrical cars in our streets, sky- scrapgrs' in the way. of buildings, and a number of other improvements." And of the Birmingham Coal: and Iron Trust with which you are associated, it is a large concern?'' "'Well! not much; we have only 29 blast furnaces at work day and night throughout the year, 7,000 coke ovens, and raise 14,000.000 tons of coal per annum." How does the American miner fare in his daily life with, say, a. Rhondda man? The balance is greatly in favour of the Welshman; he is better housed, and his hours are less." We understand American coal is going to supersede ours. Is that so?" Certainly not. I have seen experiments made, and Welsh steam coal was far superior to anything yet placed upon the market; in fact, it is undoubtedly the best the world has yet produced. Still, for our own pur poses, Alabama coal is very valuable, but cannot compete with Rhondda coal for many purposes." Have you many Welshmen out in your district? Oh. yes; in fact, I may say that frorr the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, you cannot visit a single town-and I have been in moat—where you will not hear the Welsh language spoken; and I may tell you, further, the boys' arc generally at the head of affairs."

TRADE AND SHIPPING Local Charterings. CARDIFF. EXCHANGE, Friday. The continuance of unfavourable weather and the consequent detention of inward-bound steamers has accentuated the depression which has been so marked a feature in the pteam coal trade during the week. To-day the demand for large steam and Monmouth- shire large coal was comparatively of a meagre character, arid prices all round ruled unsteady, with. in most instances, a down- ward tendency. Small steams were very plentiful, and buyers with spot tonnage at their command held the key of the situation. Good dry small changed hands at 6s, and the top quotation for best steam small was 8s, with few buyers at that. Indeed, 7s 9d appeared to be the market value of the com- modity. House coal prices were maintained, but buyers were not disposed to purchase largely ahead, as anything approaching a slump in steam coal would, as a natural sequence, weaken house coal values. in the patent fuel and coke trades there was no apparent change. The pitwood market con- tinued firm, and last figures were well main- tained. Closing prices:—Best steam coal 14s 6d to 15s, seconds 13s 6d to 14s, drys Be 6d to 13s 9d; best, steam smalls 7s 9d to as, seconds 7s to 7s 6d, and inferior sorts, including drys. from 6s to 6s 6d; best Monmouthshire large coal 13s to 138 3d, seconds 12s 6d to 12s 9d; best house coal 16s to 17s 6d. seconds 13s (xl to 14s 6d; No. 3 Rhondda large 14s 6d to 14s 9d. drys 12s 3d to 12s 6d, and small 9s 6d to 9s gd: No. 2 Rhondda large lis 6d to 11s 9d, through and through 9s 6d to 10s, and small 7s 6d to Ss per ton: patent fuel 100 to 17s; special ionndry coke 22s to 23s, good foundry 18s 6d to 20s, and furnace IG8 6d to 17s 6d per ton l.o.b.; pitwood, 20s 6d to 21s per ton ex ship.
